street battles breaking out between the morsi supporters and demonstrators. last night, it was opposition that seemed to score big, bringing out tens of thousands in to the streets and then of course marching on the presidential palace where eventually morsi andç his riot police were seen actually beating a tactical retreat leaving the palace grounds in the hands of baffled anti-morsi protesters. some of whom then erected tents as they have done in tahrir square. today it was the muslim brotherhood's turn calling a count count counterdemonstration and it wasn't long before they overwhelmed the 100 or so others demonstrating there. some tweeting from the palace areas said that the brotherhood chased off the protesters with clubs and stones leaving several bleeding in the streets and broken glass in their wake, as well. but tamron, even as this was unfolding yards away, it appears that the morsi government blinked first today. the vice president held a press conference at the palace where he offered the opposition a compromise. he said it was his own ideas. b

there is pretty broad-spread support for morsi. we'll see if that puts an end to the protests. >> bill: mohammed, a lot of people were hoping he would run for president. would he have gotten elected? >> no, he wouldn't. i met with him in cairo during this time. he said that he was discouraged by the way the operation was going. declined to run at that point. probably wouldn't have been elected. he still remains a major figure. >> bill: you were at the president's speech on monday where did he talk about syria and other things. and he talked about nuclear weapons and his nuclear weapon strategy which is what, joe? >> a very important speech. remember in prague in april of 2009 first foreign policy speech, he devotes it to nuclear weapons. similarly here, this is his first national security speech since being re-elected president. and he devotes it to nuclear weapons. he comes down to honor richard lugar and sam nunn who founded this program 20 years ago. the cooperative reduction program. if has eliminated thousands of weapons in ru
